Baptism is an outward sign of what has already taken place within us when we decided to follow Jesus. It is a symbol of much more than a washing away of sin, but of an actual union with Christ. In going under the water, the believer is joining in Jesus’ death on the cross and thus crucifying the “old self” with its bondage to sin and separation from God, no longer having to live in sin but freed to live for Jesus. In coming up out of the water, the believer is uniting with Jesus’ resurrection from the grave, rising to new eternal life with him. As a symbol of our repentance, baptism serves as a clear point of departure between our old and new lives: we are renouncing our former way of life and turning back to God, resolved no longer to live as slaves to sin, but as slaves of Jesus. “You are not your own; you were bought at a price” (1Corinthians 6:19-20).

If you are ready to be baptized, please contact Pastors, Chad or Aubrey, for our Westside Vineyard 2016 baptism that will be held in Little Net Lake. Celebration potluck to follow.

Directions (From WSV):

Due to construction, this is THE best and easiest way to get to the Holyoke Park! FYI, from West side Vineyard, the ride is about 45 minutes.

No matter how long you've been following Jesus, there's always more amazing stuff to learn, experience and enjoy. A great way to press into this and experience some real change is thru an Apprentice Group. This small group will take 9 weeks to go through to book "The Good and Beautiful God" by James Bryan Smith. The book lays out a simple yet powerful process, through study and spiritual exercises, to reveal a God who is compassionate, loving, good and beautiful. We will draw the understanding of who God is and what God is like directly from what Jesus taught and believed.
